Legal Intern at Finance Dispute Resolution Team
-
Feb 2021 - Jul 2021
I worked on cases involving false statements in the security market, negotiable instruments, and commercial trusts. These cases were highly complex and the average amount in disputes exceeded RMB 300 million. When preparing for cases, I produced chronologies, relationship charts, and predictions of judge inquiries and contentious points. I also conducted substantial legal research using Wolters Kluwer, Faxin, and Alpha Lawyer, and reported directly to partners on my research results. When attending the court hearings, I was responsible for taking notes, writing hearing reports for clients, and drafting post-hearing submissions for the courts based on the judges’ key concerns. I also undertook client-faced tasks such as attending client meetings, reporting on the progress of work, and writing meeting minutes. Additionally, I had the opportunity to learn about the daily running of law firms and I participated in the pitching process including drafting tenders and pitching to potential clients. I also contributed to the weekly newsletters and case notes published by the firm. Show less
